Review to be launched into poor 2022 Scottish census performance

A review is to be launched into Scotland's 2022 census, which was delayed by a year (after the rest of the UK completed its returns), and which had a lower return rate, failing to reach its target of 90% of households sending back a copy. 

The census was the first to be predominantly carried out by the National Records of Scotland (www.nrscotland.gov.uk) on a digital basis, although 250,000 households still sent in a paper copy.
